That homeowner was right, extra time on looks doesn't pay the bills and hidden wiring works just fine.

Did your neighbor end up making any mistakes that you had to fix yourself? I totally get what you mean about handing off the simpler stuff, that's how I'd do it too if I had someone I trusted that much. It's gotta feel good to have that extra pair of hands when orders pile up, even if it means losing a little control over the final look. Quality control is such a headache with handmade stuff, but it sounds like you found a way that worked for you. I'm glad it turned out okay, that's a big relief when you take that leap.

People really overthink this stuff. It's a TV show, not a life commitment. If you're not feeling it after a few episodes, just stop watching. No need to figure out exactly why episode 5 messed it up. My attention span is pretty short. I'll drop a show if the intro song is too long. Second episode drags? Done. Don't need a whole analysis about dopamine hits and world building. Harper is acting like shows are some fragile art project that needs perfect pacing. Most of them are just filling time until the season ends. They throw in extra characters because they ran out of ideas for the main plot. Watch what you like, skip what you don't. Simple as that.

Bought a "mint condition" table saw once that came with a free bag of dog hair in the motor.

My local Hy-Vee does this too but with meat at 6 PM on Wednesdays.
